Biomechanical analysis of fracture fixation with external fixator in vivo.
To investigate the different ways of measuring the main axial strain during treatment with an external fixator and to find the suitable compression loaded by the external fixator at an early stage. ⋯ The axial strain under external fixator can be measured by bone cement coated-strain gauge in vivo. The data may suggest that half of the body weight load was suitable for external fixator.

Case ReportsTransoral atlantoaxial reduction plate fixation for irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation.
To design a clinically applicable transoralpharyngeal atlantoaxial reduction plate (TARP), introduce the operation procedure, and evaluate its preliminary clinical effects. ⋯ The design of TARP is novel. The operational procedure is simple and easy to use. Furthermore, instant reduction can be completed during the operation and the fixation is relatively stable. TARP is an ideal alternative for irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation and may have excellent prospects for further clinical applications.

The anatomical study of transoral atlantoaxial reduction plate internal fixation.
To study relevant anatomical features of the structures involved in transoral atlanto-axial reduction plate (TARP) internal fixation through transoral approach for treating irreducible atlanto-axial dislocation and providing anatomical basis for the clinical application of TARP. ⋯ An atlanto-axial surgery through transoral approach is safe and feasible. This approach is suitable for an anterior TARP internal fixation, and the design of the internal fixation system should be based on the above anatomical data.

Evaluation of P-POSSUM scoring system in predicting mortality in patients with hip joint arthroplasty.
To evaluate the applicability of Porthsmouth modified physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (P-POSSUM) in predicting the mortality of the patients undergoing hip joint arthroplasty. ⋯ P-POSSUM can predict the mortality accurately in the patients undergoing hip joint arthroplasty, which is superior to POSSUM.

Posteromedial approach of gastrocnemius for reduction and internal fixation of avulsed tibial attachment of posterior cruciate ligament.
To introduce a posteromedial approach through the medial border of the medial head of gastrocnemius for reduction and reattachment of bony avulsion of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) from the tibia. ⋯ The posteromedial approach of the gastrocnemius is ideal for internal fixation of avulsed tibial attachment of the PCL. It is fairly easy, safe, time-saving, applicable alternatives, in addition, the morbidity is rare and can also be used in management of posteromedial fracture of the medial femoral condyle and tibial plateau.
